WIND MITIGATION INSPECTION IN SOUTH FLORIDA
Wind Mitigation Inspection is an inspection of the property structural condition / design and hurricane resistance features (hurricane shutters, type of roofing, hurricane tie-down straps, building code that the property was designed to, any additional attic bracing etc.) This can provide huge insurance savings based on the features or installed components of the property.

What Is a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
New PA wind mitigation inspection is a limited-scope insurance inspection that evaluates specific construction features proven to reduce wind damage during hurricanes and severe storms.
In simple terms: the stronger the wind-resistant features, the greater the potential insurance savings.

Why Wind Mitigation Inspections Matter
Lower Homeowners Insurance Premiums
Documented wind-resistant features may qualify for substantial insurance discounts.
Required by Insurance Carriers
Most Florida insurers require a valid wind mitigation report for new policies or renewals.
Objective, Verifiable Documentation
Reports are completed using Florida’s standardized OIR-B1-1802 form and include photo evidence.
Supports Real Estate Transactions
Wind mitigation inspections are commonly requested during home sales to help buyers estimate insurance costs.
What Is Evaluated During a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
Our inspectors document the following features:
- Roof covering type and age
- Roof deck attachment (nails vs screws, spacing)
- Roof-to-wall connections (toe nails, clips, straps)
- Roof geometry (hip vs non-hip)
- Secondary water resistance (SWR)
- Opening protection (impact-rated windows, shutters, doors)
This inspection does not evaluate general home condition or code compliance.
Wind Mitigation vs Home Inspection
These inspections serve different purposes:
- Wind mitigation inspections focus only on wind-resistance features for insurance
- Home inspections evaluate overall condition and performance of the home
Many property owners schedule both to fully understand condition and insurance implications.
Who Needs a Wind Mitigation Inspection?
- Homeowners seeking insurance discounts
- Buyers purchasing homes in South Florida
- Property owners renewing or changing insurance carriers
- Sellers preparing listings with insurance transparency
Validity of a Wind Mitigation Report
Most Florida insurance carriers accept wind mitigation reports for up to 5 years, provided no material changes have occurred to the roof or structural features.
